title: Heparin-cellulose-charcoal composites for drug detoxification prepared using room temperature ionic liquids.
abstract: We report novel heparin-cellulose-charcoal composites prepared using room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) to enhance the biocompatibility and blood compatibility of activated charcoal beads while decreasing the size of their active pores.
